Emil AmosHOST
worked.
Emil AmosHOST
It was like, we could customize imagery together and we would go to Kinko's.
Emil AmosHOST
Yeah.
Emil AmosHOST
That was fun.
Jacob CiocciGUEST
And then.
Jacob CiocciGUEST
Yeah.
Jacob CiocciGUEST
The Kinko's thing was a huge deal.
Jacob CiocciGUEST
You probably were the first person to take me to Kinko's.
Zach ChapaloniGUEST
Like, as little as, like ...
Zach ChapaloniGUEST
If someone cuts you in a line, are you like, "Hey, what, hey, excuse me"? Oh, you know what? I, uh, I was, uh, leaving FedEx Kinkos and, and, uh, I was pulling out of the parking lot, and this Tesla was backing out, and I just was like, "Beep, beep." And I was like, "Hey," like, "I'm driving."
Kelly RyanHOST
Yeah.
Zach ChapaloniGUEST
And I didn't think twice about it, and I go.
Denise SalcedoHOST
So maybe we should all get together right now.
Denise SalcedoHOST
Let's go to Kinko's and let's start printing out some looking for missing in action.
Denise SalcedoHOST
FedEx, Kinko's,
Sancho WestHOST
whatever.
Sancho WestHOST
I call it Kinko's.
Sancho WestHOST
Kinko's is
Denise SalcedoHOST
nicer.
Denise SalcedoHOST
Kinko's sounds more fun than FedEx.
Kunichi NomuraGUEST
I made an interview magazine.
Kunichi NomuraGUEST
in 2000 I was 26 and everybody said you should make a business card and I made a business card you know just at the like Kinko's but I didn't know my title because I never worked so I make the business card just my name and a hotmail account I didn't have a cell phone and the name of the magazine that's it and I was first in New York and London try to reach out to people I want to interview but of course nobody responded so I just started to visit them you know somehow I get the address knock the door and gave my business card, they looked really confused.
Kunichi NomuraGUEST
So they were like, wait a second, let me talk to his assistant or manager.
Kunichi NomuraGUEST
And it worked.
Jason WischGUEST
I would then have to maybe like at 3 o'clock stop scouting because I had to go to a one-hour photo to get the photos printed.
Jason WischGUEST
Then I would go to Kinko's and tape up everything.
Jason WischGUEST
And then I had to go to FedEx.
Jason WischGUEST
To FedEx, one copy usually to the director or photographer, and one copy to the client.
Jason WischGUEST
And then bring a third copy back to the production office.
Jason WischGUEST
And by the way, just to point out, back then, Kinko's and FedEx were not the same company.
Jason WischGUEST
So now if I had to do that, I can do FedEx and Kinko at the same location.
Jason WischGUEST
But back then, I had to find Kinko's.
Bradford CohenGUEST
Okay.
DJ VladHOST
They printed the actual contract out at the local FedEx Kinkos.
DJ VladHOST
They still have a record of it at the Kinkos, so they know what actually got printed out, and they see the contract that basically says that Gucci's letting him out of everything.
Bradford CohenGUEST
Right.
PJ VogtHOST
When that business failed, his dad started looking for easier prey.
PJ VogtHOST
He started eyeing Kinko's.
RajaGUEST
He had a photocopying business where he was just also in the garage, just trying to print off hundreds and thousands of copies, but he never had one customer.
PJ VogtHOST
Kinko's, also well-positioned to take on would-be disruptors like Raja's dad.
PJ VogtHOST
However, other markets beckoned.
RajaGUEST
The hair bleaching gel is a clear gel that women would put onto their face, onto any unwanted hair, just to bleach it to make it less noticeable.
Heather CerulloGUEST
No, no
Jennifer WilsonHOST
... at, at the, at the Kinkos in order to do your scrapbooking.
Heather CerulloGUEST
[laughs]
Jennifer WilsonHOST
So how has it evolved over time?
Morley DesaiGUEST
I was physically, like, sorting it.
Morley DesaiGUEST
I was re-stickering it based on little stickers from, from Kinko's, right? Like, I was like, okay, this is what it is, and we got through that.
Morley DesaiGUEST
And, um, I had a- an Amazon agency that was helping, and so they were, like, dealing with, like, the back end and stuff, and we, we were able to get it back up.
Morley DesaiGUEST
But I remember, like, that's kinda, like, when the panic, like, started.
Evan CarmichaelHOST
By the 2000s, FedEx was handling not just overnight air express, but also ground delivery, freight services, and international express through various divisions.
Evan CarmichaelHOST
It acquired other companies like Flying Tigers, Air Cargo, and Kinko's to broaden its reach.
Evan CarmichaelHOST
The company Smith founded now connects virtually every corner of the earth with reliable delivery service.
Evan CarmichaelHOST
To appreciate the scale of FedEx today, look at some of these numbers.
